Surf fishing for Mulloway - Rods. Reels & Tackle ?


Recommended Posts

Thanks BranzinoInteresting review of the Ballistic here.Sounds like they are one of the best off the shelf surf rods available, but might not like the heavier weights.http://www.fishnet.com.au/forums/viewtopic.php?t=100564&postdays=0&postorder=asc&start=0&f=0"As Jeremy said the rod has a parabolic action, is a dam good looking rod, and fishes very well. The 40 is heavier rod than the 33 that Daiwa sell in Oz. It has a slightly thicker butt and tip but is still a thin walled Japanese styled 3 piece surf rod. Its weights a touch more than the 33 and will cast a lot further than the 33. It is capable of hitting 75 grams with a tournament style cast 200mHere is some video of me hitting the 40 as hard as I can with a 3 ounce lead.http://www.youtube.com/user/fish33cast#p/u/6/QRgg32iAGoMYou say you want it to cast 6 ounces and a large fillet bait, it will cast that weight, but any more than flopping that weight and bait into a close in gutter could well be pushing a Ballistic 40 to its limit.If you want any distance with that size lead and bait there would be better rods you could look at.
